You're probably best to search for an instance that explicitly says they're for NSFW communities and create an account there.

SavvyWolf points out here that SFW instances typically try to avoid federation with NSFW instances. Meaning if you create an account on a SFW instance, it would be against the rules to subscribe to a NSFW community elsewhere (with the way federation works, this would cause NSFW posts made elsewhere to start showing up on the SFW instance).

As Korgen pointed out here, if you do find an instance that allows NSFW content, you'll need to be logged into a Lemmy account to view any of it.

Your best bet is to create a Lemmy account on a NSFW instance specifically for subscribing to NSFW communities. However, it honestly doesn't seem like there are a lot of NSFW communities right now. I can only assume it's because the user base is still small and most people don't want to post smut in a community of like 3 people.

You need to put the eggplant emoji in front of your search.

๐Ÿ† thickhotasianswithtastyrumpsandbeautifuleyes brings up a heap of results for example

I can't believe you made me search that. All I can do is upvote.

In addition to nobody really wanting to set one up for (non furry) smut, some instances don't allow you to subscribe to NSFW communities on any instance. I think lemmy.ml is one that doesn't allow it, but I'm not sure how you would check.

It's a wise decision by instance admins to have a clean separation between regular and NSFW content IMO.

I think it's likely that there will be a parallel NSFW fediverse that has little overlap with regular content, and that's probably for the best.
